Through purposeful innovation and the strength of its connections, CCC technologies empower the people and industry relied upon to keep lives moving forward when it matters most. Learn more about CCC at www.cccis.com.

The Role

As a Senior Software Engineer - Agentic you will build the event-driven systems that keep claims moving for our customers, connecting our AI agents to the rest of CCC. When these systems work, claims move faster and the machinery stays invisible. Agentic coding tools are how you move fast. What you add is what they are worst at: distributed-systems design, correctness when things fail partway, and the debugging nobody else gets to the bottom of. You own a product area end to end and define the reliability bar it ships against.

Salary range is:
$180,000 - 225,000
This position is bonus eligible.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own the delivery of backend services, built in Python and TypeScript, from an ambiguous problem, scoped with product managers and data scientists, through production operation.
• Build and operate durable, event-driven, multi-tenant systems in which agents run as steps inside deterministic workflows, designing their failure modes, replay semantics, and cost profile before they show up under load.
• Own tracing and audit for your area: every model call and agent step recorded, so any recommendation can be reconstructed and cited back to its sources by on-call and auditors alike.
• Own how claims automation data is modeled and managed across our relational, document, and graph stores. Ensure the security and isolation of sensitive data.
• Author the design documents for complex systems to get feedback and buy-in, review other engineers' designs and code with the same care, and mentor the engineers in your area.
• Raise the bar for how the team works with agentic coding tools: sharpen the specifications, instruction files, hooks, and permission policies they run under, and hold generated code to the same review standard before it merges.
• Take part in a shared on-call rotation for the systems you own.

• 6+ years of professional software engineering experience, including an event-driven system you designed, shipped to customers, and ran in production.
• Python and TypeScript at the level of setting a team's conventions, plus a background in a systems language such as Rust, Go, Java, or C#.
• Strong computer science and distributed-systems fundamentals you use at work: concurrency, consistency, ordering, and how systems fail.
• Event-driven systems built on a broker such as Kafka, Azure Event Hubs, or Service Bus that handle duplicate, late, and failed events without losing or double-processing work.
• Data modeling and development across relational, document, and graph databases such as PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Neo4j, including when each type fits and the partition-key, consistency, and tenant-isolation calls you made.
• Systems architected and operated on Azure or AWS, with CI/CD and infrastructure as code, and hands-on time with a durable workflow engine such as Temporal or the Durable Task Scheduler.
• A clear account of how you constrain an agentic coding tool's context and verify its output, from daily use of Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or similar on production work, plus changes you turned back, and why.
• Technical design documents you have authored for systems that span more than one team, used to get feedback and buy-in before building, and that those teams then built to.
• Clear writing and discussion for technical and non-technical audiences: drawing out a customer's real problem and explaining the trade-offs back to them.

• React and TypeScript experience, so you can deliver a full-stack feature end to end, especially chat, streaming, and citation-heavy AI experiences.
• Formal methods or fault-injection testing, such as Lean, TLA+, or deterministic simulation.
• Performance work below the application layer: profiling, memory, and concurrency tuning.
• Familiarity with how AI agents reach their tools and enterprise systems, through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol, command-line tools, and microservices.
• Exposure to the insurance, claims, or automotive repair domains.

• In your first six months, services you built run in production against SLOs you set, and you can show they held as load grew.
• You are trusted with the hardest correctness and scale problems, and you turn them into a design, a shipped system, and a number you can put in front of a customer.
• You are energized by what agentic coding tools make possible. Your team ships more than its headcount suggests, and your specifications and reviews are why the output survives production.
• You have a passion for systems that last: failures are designed for in advance, and when one happens anyway, the trace says exactly where.
• Standards you set for reliability, reviews, and design documents outlive the project they started on.
• Engineers you mentor ship reliable services without your direct involvement.
• You enjoy getting a product manager, a data scientist, and a customer's team into one room and coming out with a single agreed scope, and you can argue a position without needing to win it.
• You embrace our ambitious, collaborative, and empathetic values, and you like problems where the answer has to be measured rather than argued.

• 401K Match
• Paid time off
• Annual Incentive Plan Performance Bonus
• Comprehensive health insurance
• Adoption Assistance
• Tuition Reimbursement
• Wellness Programs
• Stock Purchase Plan options
• Employee Resource Groups

How to prepare and behave

This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.

• Read the whole description and match your examples to its requirements; use the same words the posting uses where they are true for you.
• Research the employer before the interview: what it does, who its customers are and recent news; prepare two or three questions about the work.
• Arrive early (or log in early for a video call), dress one step above the daily dress code, and test your camera and audio beforehand.
• Answer with short stories: the situation, what you did and the result. Give numbers when you have them and never invent them.
• Be honest about gaps; say what you did to learn and how fast you can close them.
• Ask about the team, the first 90 days, how success is measured and the schedule; do not open with salary and time off.
• When pay comes up, know the market range for the occupation and your lowest acceptable offer before you answer; ask for the full package in writing.
• Send a short thank-you message within a day, mentioning one thing you discussed.
• Have code, data work or projects you can show, and be ready to think aloud: many technical interviews test how you reason, not only the answer.

The city

The job is in Chicago, IL. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.

How Chicago compares. Among the 100 largest places in Illinois, Chicago is #1 by population, #96 for homeownership (#1 = highest), #87 for long commutes (#1 = fewest), #22 for remote work (#1 = most). Its county, Cook County, is #2 of 102 counties for average pay ($86,931).

The place in numbers

Chicago has 2,711,226 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 21.4% of the population of Illinois. It covers 228 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 11,904 people per square mile. The median age is 35.8, 8% younger than the state median (35.8 against 39.0).

Housing

The median gross rent is $1,440 a month (rent plus utilities), 13% above the state median ($1,440 against $1,274). Over a year that is 22.2% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $334,100, which is 4.3 times the median household income ($77,902). 46.0% of households own their home, 31% below the state average (46.0% against 67.1%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.

Work and pay

The Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN metropolitan area has 4,513,280 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $54,720 a year, 7% above the national median ($54,720 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (488,940 jobs, median $48,840); transportation and material moving (484,580 jobs, median $45,920); management (404,010 jobs, median $131,890). The area is most specialised in management (1.2 times) and transportation and material moving (1.2 times), where the share of workers is above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($131,890) and legal ($112,440). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Cook County was 4.7%. 67.5% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Cook County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.

Getting around

Among workers, 44.8% drive alone, 17.7% use public transit, 5.8% walk, 21.0% work from home. 27.5% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 39% above the state average (27.5% against 19.7%). Remote work is more common than in the state as a whole, which widens the set of employers a resident can work for without moving.

People and education

44.3% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 17% above the state share (44.3% against 37.9%). 20.9% of residents were born outside the United States, 42% above the state share (20.9% against 14.8%). The poverty rate is 16.8%, 43% above the state rate (16.8% against 11.8%).

Climate

The warmest month is Aug, averaging 73°F (22.6°C), and the coolest is Jan at 28°F (-2.5°C). About 981 mm (39 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; May is the wettest month (117 mm) and Jan the driest (48 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.

Nearby cities to compare

Closest cities in this guide: Cicero (4 miles, rent 20% lower); Berwyn (5 miles, rent 16% lower); Oak Park (6 miles, rent 11% higher); Burbank (8 miles, rent 12% lower). Rent differences are against Chicago; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
